The Role Of Sex Trafficking In Ontario

Teenage girls between 15-17 have been seen taking part in prostitution around in hotel rooms with clients, one man said that this “didn’t look quite right”. Police also say that they were “recruited from Mississauga shopping mall” the company had been “operating for at least seven months”. Although the teens were hired to be “exotic dancer” they started to offer clients more even though they were inexperienced and new very little about the path they were going down. The teens then realised that they could end up making a lot of money if they continued to stay with the company. The customers knew what the company was advertising. Eventually, the police made two charges to the people who were involved in “running a Mississauga based prostitution

The book ‘Canada’s Underground World of Human Trafficking’ by Benjamin Perrin is a realization of reality and a desperate call to action. The silent screams of young abused victims continue echoing down the dark tunnels of Canada’s underground world of human trafficking. Perrin argues that this is an issue that should concern everyone on a global and national level because it lowers the value of our common humanity. He uses empirical evidence from a variety of case studies to emotionalize with the reader and support his claim that Canada desperately needs to be educated on this form of modern day slavery. Throughout the duration of the book Perrin discusses and provides examples of multiple forms of social inequalities that help enable the

Bill C-36: Protection of Communities and Exploited Persons Act is a response to the December, 2013 Supreme Court decision in Attorney General of Canada vs. Bedford. The Act was introduced in the House of Commons on June 4th, 2013 and passed in the House of Commons on October 6, 2014 by a 156-124 vote. It will now be considered in the Senate. Bill C-36 attempts to take the Nordic model approach, penalizing paying for sex while decriminalizing the sale of sex. This paper will present a review of Bill C-36, the importance of decriminalizing prostitution and insight into the ways that I intend to influence it as a social worker.

Other researchers found that Immigrants are smuggled into Canada hoping to pursue a better life, only to realize upon arrival that they are being subjected to forced labor. Immigrants legal documentation is confiscated by the traffickers upon arrival in Canada where they are then threatened, abused, and manipulated (Martinez,Martinez,& Hanley, 2001, p.17).Victims are misled to believe that they coming to Canada to participate in legitimately work as nannies, household caretakers, and waitresses but are instead sold as sex-slaves working in undercover brothels and massage parlors (Mohajerin,2006, p.125). The majority of victims to human trafficking are young women but also consists of children and men. Children are often trafficked for illegal adoption and forced to work as sex slaves. The trafficking of men also occurs, although not as commonly, in which situations men are forced to work in factories under poor conditions (Martinez,Martinez,& Hanley, 2001, p.17) . Human trafficking is a global multi-billion dollar industry that is becoming more common in countries all over the world.

Nothing drives emotions out the window more than hearing about innocent children being used for sex. In Cambodia, sex trafficking has grown into a troublesome issue. Sex trafficking has become one of the fastest growing crimes occurring internationally. It is the third largest crime-business in the world, after drugs and arms trafficking. Women, girls, and even men and boys are victims of the billion-dollar sex trafficking industry. Sex trafficking occurs everywhere, and it is not culturally specific, but a gender specific issue. There are numerous cases of sex trafficking within Cambodia, however child sex trafficking is extremely captivating and distressing to learn about.

Violence, suicide and homicide are serious public health issues that affect many women globally. The World Health Organization recently sent “ a powerful message that violence against women is a global health problem of epidemic proportions (1)”. There is a growing advocacy that calls for the protection of young women who face consequences due to the exploitation of providing sexual services. Legalizing prostitution in Canada would just encourage clients to abuse sex workers even more so. By implementing a policy that would ban prostitution in Canada, the health issues of violence and homicide will diminish, protecting the basic interests of the population.

Human trafficking violates the Criminal Code of Canada in four main sections, sections 279.01 (Trafficking in persons), 279.011 (Trafficking of a person under the age of eighteen years), 279.02 (Material benefit), and 279.03 (Withholding or destroying documents). Many other Criminal Code offences can also apply to human trafficking cases including kidnapping, forcible confinement, uttering threats, extortion, assault, sexual assault, prostitution-related offences, and criminal organization offences. The Criminal Code also states that “a person exploits another person if they: cause someone to provide, or offer to provide, labour or a service by engaging in conduct that, in all the circumstances, could reasonably be expected to

We say that slavery has vanished from European civilization, but this is not true. Slavery still exists, but now it applies only to women and its name is prostitution The 4th of November 2014 is a day that will be remembered as the most notorious day in the history of the Canadian Justice System. On November 4th 2014, the most controversial prostitution bill “Protection of Community and Endangered Persons Act”, also known as C-36 was passed in the Supreme Court of Canada. According to this law, the ‘sale of sex’ has to be regarded as a legal act. However, the law did not include several other aspects of the prostitution trade. The sale of sexual services between the prostitutes and pimps is still to be categorized as an illegal act. The new law passed by Canada’s legislation is inspired by the “Nordic Model” of prostitution that was initially adopted in 1999 by Sweden. The Nordic Model of Prostitution states that prostitution is not prohibited, but paying for sex is. This model aspires to remove the deep-rooted problem of prostitution from the system, without actually subjecting and targeting the prostitutes, who are themselves often the victims of sex-trafficking. This Paper will argue that despite the fact that C-36 was a smart move taken by the government of Canada in response to SCC’s Criticism, this law might not be the most appropriate approach towards eliminating sex trade off the streets.

This letter is solely based off the purpose of allowing you to have a better perspective of how we, as citizens view your successes, as well as your shortcomings in terms of upholding, and enforcing the UDHR. Luckily, you’ve become prime minister of one of the greatest countries in the worlds in terms of human rights, and according to the Human Development Index. Our country is among the best in terms of enforcing the 30 articles of the UDHR, but that doesn't mean there’s not room for improvement. Canada is currently ranked eighth on the Human Development Index, only behind; United States, Ireland, Germany, Netherlands, Denmark, Switzerland, Australia, Norway.

The treatment of the Indigenous population in Canada has been a very controversial topic since Confederation. Government after government, both federally and provincially, has been faced with the question of how to deal with this group. There are many complexities within this topic, and despite it being prevalent for the couple centuries, there still seems to be no solution in sight. After Confederation, the Canadian government’s idea was to sign treaties with Indigenous groups, leading to the Numbered Treaties. Between 1871 and 1921 eleven treaties were signed, governing relations between the Canadian government and the Indigenous population (Hall, 2011, para. 60). During that period, in 1876, the federal government passed the Indian Act,

Sex trafficking, particularly that of children, has become a growing concern in the United States over the past several decades (Kotrla, 2010). By definition, child sex trafficking is “when a child (under 18 years of age) is induced to perform a commercial sex act” (U.S., 2013, para. 4), and includes forms such as prostitution and pornography (Kotrla, 2010). Researchers suggest that children are the most vulnerable to becoming victims of prostitution (Kotrla), and it is estimated that there are at least 100,000 victims in the United States (Estes & Weiner, 2001). Sex traffickers, otherwise known as “pimps,” often lure children with promises of food, clothing, love, and shelter, and then the pimps manipulate the children to keep them in prostitution (U.S. Department of Justice [DOJ], 2015). Awareness of the issue has led to the development of organizations, such as Children of the Night, that seek to help victims escape the sex trafficking industry (Children of the Night [COTN], 2016d).

Have you ever walked into Wal-Mart and taken the time to look at the numerous pictures of missing youth that is plastered on the wall? When looking at how long they have been missing, it ranges anywhere from months to years. Looking at their age, both boys and girls, it is hard not to wonder if these kids are being trafficked. Child sex trafficking, also known as human trafficking, is a major issue that is not only plaguing the United States, but the world. Residing in a state where teen sex trafficking is very common, it is imperative that not only adults, but the youth understand what child sex/human trafficking is, what is a sex-trafficker, and the data that reveals the seriousness of child sex

Sex trafficking is a global problem that involves the exploitation and abuse of girls as well as women. This paper will discuss the problem, with an emphasis on the views expressed by Paola Monzini in her book Sex Traffic: Prostitution, Crime and Exploitation. The paper will look at the causes, consequences and prevalence rates of sex trafficking and will consider the impact of such factors as globalization and women’s poverty in perpetuating the problem or making it worse. The paper will conclude with a discussion of the ways in which a human rights perspective might translate into positive action to eliminate the trafficking of girls and women.
